I've looked into this and it sure looks like a Davis clone if there ever was one. As such it has all the promise and obstacles - mainly cost.

How hard does it look to support the WMR300 in WeatherCat? If it isn't too difficult a job, it might be a plum for WeatherCat. I'm not sure how long it will take for something to upgrade to this station or a newcomer to arrive with one - still, it has to be only a matter of time.

I was wondering if the WMR300 uses a similar sort of interface as the other Oregon Scientific line. If so, it might not be too painful for Stu to add this station to the ones supported by WeatherCat.

Could somebody who is a regular visitor on some general interest weather forums like WXForum take a look at what weather enthusiasts think about this station?

I just went though the reviews on Amazon and the greatest complaint appears to be the lack of quality software and customer support. So far not a lot of complaints about the hardware itself. The big question is whether or not the station holds up like its rival Davis instruments. So far, it doesn't have the flexibility of a Davis Vantage Pro-2, but for most people the WMR300 is more than flexible enough in its installation options. Since it is a newer design, it should have some advantages of Davis.

Can anyone get "da' dirt" from those hardcore weatherphiles to be found on the Internet?

1. It doesn't use a custom hardware interface - so generally either USB or serial.2. Its protocol is either defined by the manufacturer or hackable (all USB devices tend to fall into the 'hackable' class). 3. There's demand for it.

I've had a few enquiries about the WMR300 but not enough to justify the development at the moment, hence the post here to see if there's any more interest
